Since 1991, we’ve been producing Amish-crafted, custom wooden gun cabinets that not only keep firearms safe but also stored in beautiful display cases.
We’re proud of the craftsmanship that goes into each piece. We believe the talent that goes into creating each gun display is what makes them ideal for customers looking for an heirloom gun case that they can pass down through generations.
Types of Wood in Gun Cabinets
USA Gun Cabinets are available in oak, maple, and cherry.
Oak is one of the most used woods because it is found all over the world and it’s durable. The natural grain in oak wood is prominent and it takes well to virtually any color of stain.
Maple is another wood that adapts well to nearly any type of stain while also showing off the grain.
Cherry is a softer wood, yet still durable. Its subtle red hue makes them especially appealing. Over time, cherry wood can turn a deeper red if exposed to sunlight, which is often the desired effect for heirloom pieces.

Styles of Wooden Gun Cabinets
These heirloom pieces can come in the form of bookcases, cabinets, corner display hutches, or wall cabinets. A gun cabinet with hidden storage could be especially intriguing as a potential heirloom item.
Wooden gun cabinets for larger collections include pistol display features and rotating “lazy susan” tables for easier access and well-organized presentation.
What Makes a Gun Cabinet an Heirloom?
Experts suggest that for a piece of furniture to become an heirloom, it needs to maintain function, quality, and be well-designed or uniquely designed.
Our high-quality, solid wood gun cabinets are customized. The Amish craftsmen work in our family shop, not a manufacturing plant. Each wooden gun cabinet that you order is made just for you, according to your needs.
USA Gun Cabinets uses a tongue and groove method to strongly join pieces together, which adds to its heirloom potential. Handcrafted joinery outlasts metal joinery. Tongue-and-grove helps alleviate shrinking and warping, which results in a well-designed piece of furniture ready to withstand years of use.
We have trim options, and custom etching available to add to the unique aesthetics of your wood gun cabinet.
Other custom options include LED lighting, display plaques, and glass etching.
We can stain your wooden cabinet to your preference, including a mission style design that emphasizes the natural horizontal and vertical grains of wood and a two-tone finish with a progressed distressing style.
Our wooden gun cabinets come in sizes from 5 guns to 20 guns, but we welcome you to call us with any special orders.
Safe Wooden Gun Cabinets
Our cabinets come standard with security locks. For additional safety, we suggest one of our hidden cabinets, which are beautiful pieces of furniture (bookcases and cabinets) that have hidden storage for gun collections.
Our hidden gun storage cabinets keep your rifle, pistol, or other firearms nearby and easily accessible while also hidden from plain sight.
Add to Your Cabinet’s Heirloom Quality
One more thing regarding the heirloom quality of a USA Gun Cabinet. It’s more likely that pieces of furniture that have a story and personality attached to them will be treasured. That part of the equation is on you.
We hope our wooden cabinets are storing firearms that have amazing, successful hunting stories attached to them, or stories about proud military service that will be passed down from one generation to the next.
Be sure to share whatever story and personality are attached to the firearms you store and display in our wooden gun cabinets!
